From Andy's post on the ALIA web sit: Draft of Test & Tag standard available for comment Posted on Monday, November 23rd, 2009 The draft of DR 3760, In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment is available to comment on. The closing date for comment on this draft Standard is 12 February 2010. This draft is a revision of AS/NZS 3760:2003, and specifies procedures for the safety inspection and testing of low voltage single phase and polyphase electrical equipment, connected to the electrical supply by a flexible cord and/or connecting device. This draft also includes fixed RCDs and portable inverters. NOTE — Additional requirements for portable generators are covered by AS/NZS 3012. [Hint: This draft will look VERY much like the final version which will cost you abut $100 to buy, so it's well worth downloading - even if you don't intend to make a comment.] You can download a copy of this draft from the ALIA web site. http://www.alia.com.au/standards/Draft_3760.doc

Gaafa and Rapunzel – Oh so true.. “Let’s dance and prance in the pretty lights” – then let’s run for cover. Love the 3xd's..... Duck, Dive and Disappear. Oh so apt. “She'll be right....” (Never hear this term today - gone from our vocab) - but it's alive and well on the deck... Ignorance is bliss; name of an olde pommie radio show of yesteryear. I’ll throw in another management system wobbly here and that’s the term responsibility AND authority. We are all responsible (for our actions) but few have authority (as in power of decision). The Stage Director/Producer probably has this clearly – all other decisions i.e. T&T being the topic – is that of “other’s – who are never defined…. As you say anything technical is not sexy – but it depends on what turns you on .. I still broom the stage when everyone's gone - someone's got to do it........Muggins Moi? I make it my authority to do it and guess what, the ubiquitous “they” let me get on with it....! Peter Forgive me folks for I indulge…………….
